McDavid scores twice as Oilers top Coyotes 3-1 to stop skid
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Wins have been hard to come by for the Edmonton Oilers lately, but Connor McDavid keeps piling up points.
McDavid scored two goals and assisted on another to help the Oilers end a six-game losing streak Wednesday night with a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes.
“We’ve been a streaky team all year,” McDavid said. “We’ve been doing well offensively. That’s what I’ve been looking for. We just need to find a way to get on a run.”
The 21-year-old centre leads the Oilers with 23 goals and 61 points. He reached 60 points in 39 games — fastest for an Edmonton player since Mark Messier during the 1989-90 season.
